Teaching Good Perspective to My 5 Year Old

Yesterday at breakfast it became apparent that my son needed a little help with his perspective after I sliced a banana into his cereal bowl and popped the tiny end that I had been holding into my mouth. Gabe was bummed that I had eaten the teeny piece, which for me was just an automatic action. I apologized and pretty quickly seized the teachable moment by moving on to helping him view the situation with good perspective. Behold, below is the sketch I drew while we conversed. This was also a good reminder for myself as I am in a season of overhauling my perspective, being disciplined in my thoughts and living in the present moment.
