Laura, a lively 10-year-old, and her mom Isabelle were sitting on their plush sofa, chatting about their day. Corynn, Laura's best friend, was sprawled out on the floor, engrossed in a comic book.
Suddenly, Laura's foot slipped off the edge of the sofa, landing on Corynn's belly. Corynn barely noticed, too engrossed in her comic.
Laura chuckled and looked at her mom. She then put her foot back on Corynn's belly, pretending it was a footrest. Isabelle laughed at Laura's antics.
"Corynn, do you mind if I use you as a footrest?" Laura asked, still giggling. Corynn just shrugged, not looking up from her comic.
Seeing this, Isabelle decided to join the fun. She also put her feet on Corynn's belly, and they both laughed.
Corynn didn't seem to mind. She was too engrossed in her comic book to care about being a human footstool.
