“I am certain your baby boy will be delivered by a golden stork.”

What it sounds like
A magical golden stork will bring you a baby boy.
What it really means
“You’re being foolish; babies aren’t delivered by storks, and you should know how pregnancy works.”
Said today
“Sure, a magical bird will drop your baby off at the door.”
What was happening
Philippa asks whether a baby’s head and body are inside her, after insisting pregnancy won’t change her figure. Portia answers with an obviously fantastical stork story, mocking her daughter’s ignorance rather than explaining.
