Ring-deer?

Today my mom and I went shopping. It was so I could get some more of those animal bracelets.
Before we were leaving, she begged me into going into this other store with her. It was filled with furniture, blankets, and just things for around the house. In the middle of the store there was a lot of stuff on sale, Christmas decorations. A lot of ornaments and all that stuff. There was a lot of reindeer in there also, and obviously my mom loves them!
"Meling, look at this!" she said while pointing a fairly big reindeer.
I looked at it for a second, "That's nice." I ran my fingers a long its long antlers. It reminded me of those 'trees' that hold jewelry in Romancing the Stone. "You could hang rings and necklaces on here!" I said in a joking tone.
"Yeah?" she turned to look at me.
"Oh yeah! Of course!" Sarcasm dripping from my words.
"That's why it's called a ring-deer."
I paused and looked at her, "Wait, what?" A ring-deer?
"Mhm!" she said while walking out of the store. Okay then, whatever you say, Mom.
