“This morning, I spread strawberry jam across a slice of toast before rushing out the door. On the way to school, traffic slowed to a crawl because of a long jam on the highway, and cars honked in frustration. When I finally arrived, my locker was crammed full, and I had to jam my books inside just to get it shut. In class, the printer stopped working because the paper had jammed, and the teacher called for help to fix it. That evening, the music club gathered in the auditorium for a Friday night jam, filling the room with the sound of guitars, drums, and voices blending together. The noisy energy left everyone smiling and humming tunes on the way home.”
