The time before winter when you try not to look like a meatball so you don’t have to be the first one to be picked for snowball fights.

I’m not eating that burger. I don’t want to be the first one picked for snowball fights.

I’d rather eat a salad than be the joke of the class.

I’m not going to look like a meatball in a snowball fight.
