In ASL, it is standard to sign the greeting first, just like in English. Signing 'hello' followed by 'mom' feels the most natural and polite.

For 'hello,' your fingers are typically kept together in a flat shape. When you transition to 'mom,' spread your fingers apart into a '5' handshape while your thumb touches your chin.
