Ice Cubes and Ice Storms

Today was the last day of school before the holiday break. There were storms predicted. We got snow and lightening, which was weird.

Last night Anna dutifuly worked on an essay due today. Hannah went to a movie. Mary and Frank planned a snow day. According to Mary, you need to flush four ice cubes down the toilet before bed and wear your pajamas inside out.

This morning she was indeed wearing her pajamas inside out as she warmed up microwave pancakes. "It worked!" she squealed.

This isn't bad for the plumbing, is it? Because I have a feeling everytime there is a prediction of snow, I am going to have ice cubes in the toilet.
