They are close, and Tim Joseph still has her picture of a rainbow, which he put on the back of his van and was very proud of.
An 8-year-old girl learned sign language and surprised her delivery driver by saying “Have a good day” to him. Tim Joseph, who is deaf, often brings packages to Tallulah’s house and gets along well with the 8-year-old, but he was surprised when she started signing to him. Amy Roberts, Tallulah’s mother, said that her daughter became friends with the delivery man while the school was locked down.
“We see him one or two times a week,” Roberts told Global News. “Lockdown started, and Tallulah drew a #thankyou rainbow for him. He still keeps it in his van with pride. In the last few weeks, they’ve become pretty close,” she said.
The video of the 8-year-old girl signing to Hermes Parcel worker Tim Joseph at her home in Greater Manchester went viral after Amy Roberts posted it to Twitter during the lockdown last year. In the video, you can see the Tallulah sign “Have a good day” to the person delivering their packages. Joseph looks at the 8-year-old with a cute smile as he signs to him. He said it was a good thing. “Tallulah knew I was deaf, and one day she surprised me by signing “Have a good day” in sign language,” Joseph told BBC Radio Manchester. “I think that she learned sign language at school.”
Joseph then went on to teach the girl a few more useful words. “I was very happy, and then I showed Tallulah how to sign “Good morning, have a good day.” She did it perfectly, and it made my day,” he said. He was also surprised by how many people had watched and liked the video that Emma had posted. The video has been shared on Twitter almost 10,000 times, and more than 55,000 people have liked it. Joseph also said he hoped that more people would learn to sign. “I hope more people learn sign language and that we can bring more people together,” said Joseph.
There were also a lot of nice comments on the tweet. Someone else in their neighborhood praised Tallulah and Joseph a lot. “Tallulah, you are a very unique and beautiful little girl. He is the best delivery person we have in this area. “He’s always so happy when we say hello and thank you to him,” Carrie Hopwood wrote on Twitter. Someone else sent Roberts a tweet about Joseph that said, “He’s so cute, isn’t he?” She said, “Tallulah always asks me, “Mom, have you bought anything?” Will my friend be here today?” Roberts said in a separate tweet, “In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Another neighbor also wrote something nice about Joseph: “He comes to us, too, and Alfie uses sign language with him. When we try to sign him, it makes his face light up.
