Chapter 5: The Elevator in the Ranch House

In his talk, Randy encouraged parents to allow their children to paint on their bedroom walls. "As a favor to me," he said, "let 'em do it. Don't worry about the home's resale value." The real message he says he was trying to give was this: Find ways to help your kids be creative. Nurture those instincts in them.

What would you paint on your bedroom walls if you were given permission to do so? What other creative outlet would you like to pursue, if your parents gave the OK?

  5. If I was given permission to paint what ever I could in my room. I would first start by painting an abstract fir my walls. But keep certain parts white so that i could put emblems, and things that mean the closest to me. also i would put my favorite sayings up on the walls as well.

  6. If I could paint on my bedroom walls, oh boy; I'd out do myself! I'd put a lot of things with singing, and being an actress and how I enjoy that as a hobby. I would also, similar to Randy, paint little things that symbolize something in my life, that are very creative and capturing. My dream, though, is to have my parents get me a white mini van, and I would spray paint it all sorts of different bright eccentric awesome colors and drive it around!! That would surely let me express my creative flow.
