She moved all the big ones out of the way and gave me a small one."I thought 'That's a bit strange, she's given me a small one'.

So I said, 'Can I have another one, a large one please' and she moved the big ones again and gave me a small one,” Mikey said."I know she made an effort to find the small one because she moved the others out of the way."She would've known the small Yorkshires are for kids.
