"Al can't say OI" so he'd say, "Al wants a cookie" or "Oi want a cookie". Then we'd say , Al say , Can you read that book to me, and he would say, "Al can't say Moi" so he'd say , "Can you read that book to Moi" or "Can you read that book to Al". So he onlyused Oi, Moi, but mostly Al.
It was funny to see people's reactions. New people always thought Alec was talking about his friend Al.
One time Alec said to a new nurse, "Al doesn't like that", and the nurse said, "Oh, who's Al, your friend?"
So when I write that Alec said, "Why is mom holding Al so tight?" etc..
That is how Alec talked all the time. In the third person.
It was just adorable and funny.
Alec loved Elmo and Elmo talks of himself in the third person too.
