** {{spoiler|[[Jerkass Facade]]: It is revealed in 'The Fight' that she isn't really a bully, she just acts that way because of her scary father and the fact that it is what people expect when they see a T-rex that [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Does Not Know Her Own Strength.]]}}

{{quote|An ineffective doughnut police officer who works in Elmore. He is rather oblivious, and as such is not a very good police officer.

Mr. Small's strange and unorthodox teaching methods are usually more confusing to the children than helpful, and most of the kids leave his office confused and not any better, if not worse from the time they entered.
