Convincing His Parents
The boy knew that he had to act once he found out that the show was taped in Richmond, Virginia. After learning about this, he talked to his parents in the hopes that they would take him there. The boy really wanted to persuade them because he thought he would receive a hundred bucks for the painting.
Ultimately Agreeing
He must have been over the moon when his parents said yes! The family lived in South Jersey, so they had to drive from there all the way to Richmond, Virginia. It is clear that he had supportive parents. Lucky! They even chose a bright red shirt that the boy could wear during his guest appearance.
