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.
