What to do when bribery and threats don't work?

Mommy: "Kaylyn, I need you to help me pick up these toys."
Kaylyn: "I don't want to help. My arms are too tired."
Mommy: "Well, if you help me, we can go get ice cream after lunch!"
Kaylyn: "I don't want ice cream today. You do it."
Mommy (getting mad): "Ok then, you don't get to watch any TV shows today."
Kaylyn: "That's ok, I don't want to watch any shows today."
Mommy (getting more mad): "Ok fine, then how about I just throw all these toys away?"
Kaylyn: "Then you'd have to go to the store and buy me NEW ONES!!!!"

Oy vey iz mir.
