Sorry I didn't find this funny (as a parent of grown kids). I think it's a cruel probaby ossur trick and caused the father to do all kinds of aveiros and could have literally killed him.
Same here. It's not "probably" ossur, it IS.
Not only was she completely disrespectful of her parents and had them insulted, but she also had them insulted and ridiculized
in public. Tamar decided that she would rather die than to embarass Yehuda publicly, how much more so should a child feel that way toward his parents.
This is shameful and despicable behavior.
