On the skinny side
Bobo asked for a oneshot of Granny making a comment about Emma being too skinny. Snow gets annoyed because she takes it as a critique of her as a mom.
"So, what's the plan for the next town meeting?" Emma asked her mom. "Who's supposed to take charge at this one?"
"It's Regina's turn this month. We're next, then you follow." Snow explained. The power struggle was a delicate balance in Storybrooke still, so they had a agreed a system for leading the town meetings that everyone at least found acceptable. Snow had met Emma for lunch to help her wrap her head around the schedule.
Granny came over herself to deliver their order.
"This smells amazing, Granny." Emma complimenting her, practically drooling over the oozy goodness of her grilled cheese.
"I'm glad, need to put some meat on those bones." Granny laughed, patting Emma on the head. She treated everyone in Storybrooke like her grandchild. Emma didn't respond at all. Snow, however, clocked the comment straight away.
"I'm sorry?" She asked, still trying to smile pleasantly. "What do you mean by that?" Emma was about to take a bite of her delicious looking lunch, but stopped and looked between her mom and Granny. She sighed, hoping this wouldn't stop her eating. She was starving!
"Oh, nothing dear. Just that Emma's been looking a little on the skinny side lately is all. Needs to fatten herself up a bit." Granny said, not seeming to notice the way Snow had taken the remark.
"Are you saying I don't feed my daughter enough?" Snow asked. Normally Snow adored Granny. She had helped her out when she was in a really tight spot, but not today. Snow didn't take critiquing on her parenting very well. Few parents did.
"I feed myself." Emma chimed in.
"I cook your meals." Snow pointed out. Granny just laughed. She was too thick skinned to get annoyed by Snow.
"You know I meant nothing by it." Granny said, waving her off. "I think everybody looks too skinny."
"She knows that, thanks Granny. Just ignore her." Emma suggested. Granny patted her on the head again and left them to eat. Emma took a massive bite before anybody else could stop her.
