I was thinking about how weird being in Storybrooke must be for Henry, so this drabble is to show a bit of his inner monologue trying to figure everything out.

This town is weird.
Everyone acts like they know me. The lady in the diner saying I had a "cinnamon face" when I asked how she knew I liked cinnamon on my hot cocoa. The mayor said my mom told her I was good at English. Mary Margaret knew I liked to read because my mom told her so. People are saying hello to me on the streets. When did my mom have a chance to talk to all these people?
This town is weird.
Mary Margaret doesn't seem like the type to end up in jail. Trust me, I've been around plenty of people who've done time. And frankly, Mary Margaret doesn't seem like the type. As awful as it sounds, it seems more likely for my mom to go to jail than her, and my mom only went there because my dad is a total D-Bag. Also, what kind of crime in banditry? Is that even a real thing?
This town is weird.
Why did the mayor want to meet me in the first place? She must have more important things to do than meet some kid whose visiting with his mom. And I saw her in that diner: she didn't seem clumsy, yet she still dropped that plate. She didn't even pick it up, she just stared right at me, and my mom. Stared at me like she knew me. Everyone stared at me like they knew me.
The lady at the diner. Mom's friends Mary Margaret and David. The Mayor. Even Mom's client, Killian. But I don't know them.
This town is weird.
Why did Mom leave me with a lady in the diner? If she knew any of these people well enough for them to 'babysit me' (which is not required whatsoever) why didn't I know that she ever lived here. She's just acting so weird. She has this weird paternal thing with David, and the way she says Killian's name sounds unnatural. I have so many questions, and I have a feeling I'm not going to get a solid answer on any of them.
