A mom on TikTok went viral for using sign language to translate everything her babbling toddler was saying to her husband who is deaf.
In the video, posted by @oursignedworld, the mother revealed that her husband wanted to know why she was feeling "overstimulated," so she decided to show him using sign language.
The text overlay read:
"STORY TIME: My husband is deaf. He cannot hear all the sounds our toddler makes in the car."
In the background, their child can be seen and heard saying "papa" over and over again.
The text continued:
"He asked me why I was feeling overstimulated."
"I told him he wouldn't fully understand my experience as a hearing person."
At this time, their daughter switched to repeating, "Papa G."
The mom continued:
"But he wanted me to try, so I just started signing everything she said."
And the unceasing signing had the internet cackling.
As she signed "Papa G" over and over again, the mother revealed via text that the toddler said this phrase "straight for 3 minutes."
The child then began saying, "Baba baba baba," continuously as mom signed away.
Her husband seemed extremely entertained, but his wife signed:
"My hands are exhausted!"
The toddler "continued more" and then said:
"Mom."
And mom replied:
"What?"
As you can only imagine, this pattern repeated for some time.
"Mom"
"What?"
"Mom"
Finally, the mother asked (for the second time):
"Madison, what do you need love?"
And Madison replied:
"I don't need anything."
Classic.
In the caption, the mother noted:
"He just laughed, he wasnât fazed at all."
"Now, if she was tapping him, or flickering the lights, over and over again, thatâd be a different story, I think heâd understand what I was feeling in that moment."

Dad wasn't the only one entertained, either.
