They share a close bond and Tim Joseph still has her drawing of a rainbow that he proudly displayed on his van.<\/p>\n
An 8-year-old learned sign language and surprised her delivery driver by signing \u201chave a good day\u201d to him. Tim Joseph, who is deaf, often makes deliveries to Tallulah\u2019s home and also shares a warm relationship with the 8-year-old but he was shocked when he saw her signing to him. Tallulah\u2019s mother, Amy Roberts, said her daughter got friendly with the delivery driver during the lockdown.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see him one or two times a week,\u201d said Roberts, reported Global News. \u201cStart 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,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
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 \u201chave a good day\u201d to their parcel delivery man. Joseph looks on adorably as the 8-year-old signs to him. He said it made his day. \u201cTallulah realized I was deaf and then one day she surprised me when she signed to me, \u2018Have a good day,\u2019\u201d Joseph told BBC Radio Manchester. \u201cI think she learned sign language at school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph then proceeded to teach the girl a few other handy phrases she could use. \u201cI was very happy and then I showed Tallulah how to sign, \u2018Good morning, have a good day,\u2019 and then she signed it perfectly and it made my day,\u201d 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. \u201cI hope more people learn to sign and we bring more people together,\u201d said Joseph.<\/p>\n
The tweet was also flooded with positive comments. Another person from their neighborhood heaped praise on Tallulah and Joseph. \u201cYou are a very special and beautiful little girl Tallulah. He is the best delivery driver we have around here! He\u2019s always so pleased\/happy when we sign hello and thank you to him,\u201d tweeted Carrie Hopwood. Another tweeted Roberts about Joseph, \u201cHe\u2019s so lovely, isn\u2019t he.\u201d She responded, \u201cTallulah\u2019s always asking me, \u2018Have you bought anything, mom? Is my friend coming today?\u2019\u201d In a separate tweet, Roberts tweeted, \u201cIn a world where you can be anything, be kind. Another person from the neighborhood also had kind words to share about Joseph, writing, \u201cHe comes to us too and Alfie also uses sign with him.
