Guidance from Parents' Influence
Parents can significantly influence their children's behavior, even in adulthood. The speaker's father was always supportive, praising his performances even when they were not good. However, when it came to using foul language in his comedy, the father advised against involving the mother. This parental guidance led the speaker to adapt his performance style to avoid discomforting his family. The speaker feels a pressure to modify his material when family members are in the audience, leading him to second-guess himself and lose his comedic flow.
