t’s a cozy Sunday morning as you sneak into your parents’ bed- room for some snuggle time.
You carefully slip between your mom and dad, feeling the warmth of their bodies. Then your mom turns over, smiles gently and pulls you close for a little kiss. However, instead of the inviting smell you normal- ly associate with your mom, you are enveloped in the foul- est breath that has ever left a human body! How could someone who looks so good on the outside smell so bad on the inside? When you complain about your mom’s breath, she tries to convince you that yours is just as bad. You’re sure she’s wrong. After all, when you exhale into your hands and sniff, your breath smells fine. Is your mom right? Does your morning breath smell just as bad as hers? If it does, whose idea was it to turn the human mouth into a gar- bage can after a night of blissful sleep? Sorry to burst your bubble, but your mom is right. It’s a fact that people are unable to smell their own breath. The human mouth is home to bil- lions of bacteria. These microscopic organisms don’t make you sick, but they grow like weeds on every struc- ture in your mouth: tongue, teeth, gums, cheeks, etc. And like all living things, bacteria produce waste prod- ucts. It is their waste products that give your parents (and you) such hor- rible breath in the morning. People can have bad breath during

the day as well, but something hap- pens at night that makes the problem much worse when you wake up. Be- cause you don’t eat or drink when you sleep, huge numbers of bacteria that would normally be washed down your throat have the opportunity to “party” til dawn. And as those bacteria gorge

Ever wondered . . . what happens to Ever Wondered in the summer?
Our question-answering feature is taking the summer off to make room for Summer of KidsPost. For the 10th year in a row, we’re asking kids to take KidsPost with them on vacation, have a picture taken of themselves with the page, and send it to us. We’ll publish some of our favorites on Mondays in July and August. Have an adult send vacation pictures to
kidspost@washpost.com. Please put “Summer of KidsPost” in the subject field. Also include the names, ages and home towns of all the people in the photograph, plus a sentence or two about where you are and why it’s so much fun. Also include a phone number where we can reach you if we have questions. Ever Wondered will return in September.

$5 OR LESS‘TELLING STORIES: NORMAN ROCKWELL FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF GEORGE LUCAS AND STEVEN SPIELBERG’ It turns out that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have more in common than heaps of directing accolades; both have a significant number of works by artist Norman Rockwell. Lucky for us, the pair have decided to share their collections with the public, exhibiting more than 50 pieces at the American Art Museum. Among the works, get a look at the iconic “Shadow Artist,” depicting a man entertaining a trio of children using only a lamp, a blank wall and his hands in the shape of a dog. “Pardon Me” captures a boy’s failed attempt at dancing (made obvious by a girl in a party dress holding her trampled foot), while an appropriately cinematic painting reveals a winsome starlet amid a huddle of reporters. The museum is expecting the exhibit to draw large crowds, so it wouldn’t hurt to bring along some form of entertainment (“Star Wars” on your iPod, perhaps?) in case of long lines.
Friday through Jan. 2, 2011. 11:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Eighth and F streets NW. 202-633-1000. www.
