Zachary repeats her gesture, asking her, “Baby crying?” as she crouches to pick up some sponges she had dropped.

“She dropped what was in her hand, signalled the baby was crying and pointed! This was a WOW moment,” the dad wrote.

The video has garnered over 38k views on YouTube and on TikTok it has been watched more than 19.6 million times.  After watching the video, netizens were impressed with Madison interpreting for her dad.

Here’s how people reacted:

One user said, “Wow! She not only signalled what she was hearing, she recognised that you couldn’t hear it also. Incredible.” Another wrote, “Smart little girl. She’s learning two languages together, connecting the two languages as she interacts in her world. Super toddler!”

“This is truly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen,” said a third.

Others were amused by Madison’s priorities, with many joking that she was gossiping about the other shoppers, as one person said: “She’s GOSSIPING.”

“Not her serving the tea via ASL [American Sign Language],” added another.

Zach and his wife Courtney teach their daughter to speak and use sign language at the same time. “We use sign language to communicate as a family, but Madison and I also use spoken English,” Courtney said on their YouTube channel.
