My heart doesn't feel like it anymore.

While reading BOB books with Lily:
Mommy: Ok. It's your turn. You read it to me. 
Lily: I don't want to. 
Mommy: It's ok if you don't know all the words. I'll help you. 
Lily: No, thank you. 
Mommy: I'll give you chocolate if you read the book to me. 
Lily: (immediately starts reading) Mac had a bag...(continues to read book flawlessly. Receives chocolate.) Can we read another book?

After reading the next book:
Mommy: Ok. It's your turn. You read it to me. 
Lily: Will I get chocolate if I read it. 
Mommy: Nope. You can just read it out of the kindness of your heart. 
Lily: My heart doesn't feel like it anymore.
