My mom after I finished some inane chores she'd force me to do when I was a kid:
"There that wasn't so bad was it? Don't you feel accomplished now, after a job well done?"

I've since grown up and have my own lawn I neglect. But, I do understand the value of chores now. I just don't force them on others, and if I ask for help, it isn't a veiled threat that says "You say yes and help, or else..."
