Is Mary Teasing Me?

There was a large gaggle of deer the other night at the West entrance to the park. Mary got excited, started counting but lost track because there were so many.
Mary: There were more than three, weren't there?!
Me: There were at least 9.
Mary, in the voice of the Count: 1 deer, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 2 deer, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 3 deer, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 
(I think she's teasing me??)
