Can't quite put my finger on it...

On the drive back from family camp this past weekend, we passed a lot of deer on the road. Since there were no cars behind us, N slowed down so I could take a picture. It was getting later, so the lighting wasn’t too great… thus, my picture wasn’t too great either (this one has even been edited quite a bit to lighten it). Anyways, as we’re stopped looking at the deer that are hanging out in front yards, M says that they’re not all deer since some of them don’t have the “things” on their heads. I said they were deer, but I hadn’t gotten any further in the explanation when B told her the facts.

“Girl deers don’t have them. Only boy deers do.
Only boy deers grow fingers on their heads,
and that's 'cause they're boys.
Fingers are on the boys and not the girls.”

...Fingers?

I couldn’t quite figure out what he was saying. (I guess you could say I couldn't quite put my finger on it!ha,ha) After a silent "huh?" and a confused glance toward N, I turned around and looked to the back of the Suburban. There was B, thumbs to his head, making antlers. So, there you have it: Antlers are made of fingers. And boy deers grow them.
