I know more stories about Dad that i didn't mention in my eulogy. Heaps more. Others also have stories about Dad.
After the funeral i heard some of them and not all the tales would have been appropriate for public broadcast.
In fact, some of the stories i had about Dad wouldn't have passed the "Nan test."
Simply, my Nan was in the audience, so it was wise to keep it rated PG.
A similar thing happens when i preach. Some stories don't make the grade. Nor do some fitting movie scenes.
Why? They don't pass the Nan test.
A film, even if the specific scene may not be laced with violence or profanity, could (overall) send a message that your Nan wouldn't be okay with (the same can go for songs by various musicians).
A story, even through it may illustrate the point that you are making, could occur in a setting that is distracting.
