this has been playing around my head for a few days. i know no one can leave storybrook, but is that leave as in move to anther place or leave as in go to go on vacation. i know Henry left but he had to return. could someone else leave as long as they returned? if so that would enplane how Mr. Gold was able to get Henry.

It's a powerful curse! Also I wonder what is going on in people's heads that Henry was able to age, while everyone else stayed the same? What of the other children in his class?

If all were born in Storybrooke after their parents arrived, you presume the curse did not affect them, so they could work their way through school. But what if a character was a child in the Enchanted Forest and then arrives in Storybrooke? The curse should have made them be a child for 28 years. Has no one quite figured that out in the town, that some kids have worked their way through school while others are doomed to only do the same year over and over again.

Well, if Ashley was pregnant for 28 years, then none of the children were born in Storybrooke. Which would mean Henry was the ONLY person to age. This has confounded me from the beginning!
