8-year-old Learns Sign Language to Surprise Her Deaf Delivery Driver – This Is His Response

They share a close bond and Tim Joseph still has her drawing of a rainbow that he proudly displayed on his van.

An 8-year-old learned sign language and surprised her delivery driver by signing “have a good day” to him. Tim Joseph, who is deaf, often makes deliveries to Tallulah’s home and also shares a warm relationship with the 8-year-old but he was shocked when he saw her signing to him. Tallulah’s mother, Amy Roberts, said her daughter got friendly with the delivery driver during the lockdown.

“We see him one or two times a week,” said Roberts, reported Global News. “Start of lockdown, Tallulah drew him a #thankyou rainbow. He still has it proudly on show in his van. They have built up quite a friendship over these last few weeks,” she added.

The video of the 8-year-old signing to the Hermes Parcel courier service worker, Tim Joseph, at her home in Greater Manchester went viral after Amy Roberts uploaded the video to Twitter during the lockdown last year. In the video, Tallulah can be seen signing “have a good day” to their parcel delivery man. Joseph looks on adorably as the 8-year-old signs to him. He said it made his day. “Tallulah realized I was deaf and then one day she surprised me when she signed to me, ‘Have a good day,’” Joseph told BBC Radio Manchester. “I think she learned sign language at school.”

Joseph then proceeded to teach the girl a few other handy phrases she could use. “I was very happy and then I showed Tallulah how to sign, ‘Good morning, have a good day,’ and then she signed it perfectly and it made my day,” he said. He was also quite shocked by the number of people who had viewed and liked the video uploaded by Emma. The video has been retweeted nearly 10,000 times and liked by more than 55,000 people. Joseph also said he was hopeful more people would learn sign language. “I hope more people learn to sign and we bring more people together,” said Joseph.

The tweet was also flooded with positive comments. Another person from their neighborhood heaped praise on Tallulah and Joseph. “You are a very special and beautiful little girl Tallulah. He is the best delivery driver we have around here! He’s always so pleased/happy when we sign hello and thank you to him,” tweeted Carrie Hopwood. Another tweeted Roberts about Joseph, “He’s so lovely, isn’t he.” She responded, “Tallulah’s always asking me, ‘Have you bought anything, mom? Is my friend coming today?’” In a separate tweet, Roberts tweeted, “In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Another person from the neighborhood also had kind words to share about Joseph, writing, “He comes to us too and Alfie also uses sign with him. His face lights up when we make the effort to sign to him.

WOMAN RUINED 8-HOUR FLIGHT FOR ALL PASSENGERS – AFTER THE FLIGHT, THE CAPTAIN DECIDED TO PUT HER IN HER PLACE HIMSELF. It was a long flight after my swimming competition, and I had only one wish — to put a mask over my eyes and fall asleep. Right? Nope! Ever since we took off, I knew I’d have issues with the lady on my left (aisle seat). She was ringing the flight attendant button like there was a fire in our aisle and complaining non-stop about how both of us (the girl in the window seat and I) should be moved because we had “taken her place.” Then, aisle Greta stood up and demanded that someone switch seats with her because “it’s not fair she has to sit with two fat people” (I’m just tall) when she paid the same amount for her seat as we did for ours, and we were apparently “taking over” hers. That didn’t work for her, so she spent the whole flight kicking my arm and leg while I prayed for it to end faster. When we landed, she unbuckled and darted to the front of the plane to get off first. But SUDDENLY, our captain made an announcement and came out to ⬇Continues in the comments

JOKE OF THE DAY: A truck driver walks into a cafe on the Hume Highway with a full-grown emu behind him. The waitress asks for his order. The truckie says, “I’ll have a hamburger, chips and a coffee.” He turns to the emu, “What about you?” “Sounds good to me, I’ll have the same,” the emu replies. The waitress returns with their orders. “That’ll be $10.50 please.” The truckie reaches into his pocket, pulls out the exact change and pays her. The next day, the truckie and the emu return. He repeats his order, “A hamburger, chips and a coffee, please.” The emu repeats, “Sounds good. Same for me, please.” Once more, the truckie reaches into his pocket and produces the exact amount. This is their routine for a couple of days. One night, the two enter again. “I guess you’ll have the usual?” asks the waitress. “No, it’s Friday night. I’ll have a steak, baked potatoes and a salad,” says the truckie. “Sounds great, same for me, too,” says the emu. The waitress brings the order and says, “That will be $32.65.” Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress can’t hold back her curiosity any longer. “You’ve really got me there, mate. How do you manage to always have the exact change every time?” ⬇️Joke continues in the first comment

MY MIL “ACCIDENTALLY” DROPPED OUR GENDER REVEAL CAKE – BUT HER SMILE TOLD A DIFFERENT STORY. When I say my MIL ruins milestones, I’m not exaggerating. She wore white to our wedding (“It’s cream”), posted our pregnancy before we could, and blurted our baby name to her bridge group—then “forgot” it was a secret. So for our gender reveal, I kept things small. Honestly, I didn’t even want to invite her. But my husband said, “She means well. She won’t ruin a simple cake-cutting.” Oh, how wrong we were. We hosted it in our backyard—close friends, family, pink-and-blue treats, and a gorgeous cake with the big reveal inside. Jenny, my SIL, picked it up right before the event. Everything was perfect. Then MIL arrived—late, wearing hot pink (subtle), fake air kisses, and circling the cake like a vulture. “It’s so tall,” she said. “Are you sure it’s stable?” Then—right as we were about to cut the cake, cameras ready—she lunged forward. “Oh no, I’ll just move it a little closer—” The cake toppled. Smashed. Frosting and layers everywhere. Gasps. Silence. And MIL? Standing there, hands over her mouth, smiling. Not a big grin—just enough to say, “Oops… guess it’s a girl! Granny knew first!” I turned away, fighting tears. One moment. Just one memory she couldn’t ruin. AND THAT’S WHEN IT HAPPENED. My SIL, Jenny, burst out laughing. “Just like I expected.” She went to her car… and came back with a BOX. ⬇️
