He's still a bit like that but has gradually learned to deal with it over the years.

OMG yes this is a main one

When we were last year at junior school..our teacher was saying something, and said to my mate 'oh the penny has dropped'

And she started looking on the floor for a penny...

No concept of sarcasm or anything. She used to get quite upset if we were sarcastic to each other (never did it to her as she took it as insults)
