For the love of Jamie and Chuck's Sanity

Ten bucks to the person who can explain to us what "Ginger" is. I have my money on Miss Kay, who in the last few weeks has been able to translate "ponky ponker" into "Clunker Clunker" from a book they read at daycare and "tacos" into "Goggles" from another book they read.

Clues collected thus far:

1. "Ginger" can be drawn or cut on paper as an art project.
2. "Ginger" can be broken, and apparently this is funny, not sad.
3. "Ginger" can be found in our backyard.
4. "Ginger" comes out in the summertime.
5. "Ginger" makes some sort of popping noise as it arrives.
6. "Ginger" sometimes pops up and sometimes pops down.
7. "Ginger" is NOT the ginger bread man.

That's all we have so far. Keep in mind, of course, that Jack tends to lie/make up his own truth (Momma pokes him in the eye, Kay had a hurt knee, he wakes up in the night and opens his door and is sad, Tugboat is the Muffin Man, no baby is coming to live with us, you can measure things with a fence and Momma's arm is "two and a half" and her chest is "apple", etc.) so I'm not sure how accurate these clues are.

Please help.
