Halitosis? 

It usually happens when the weather starts to change from fall to winter and the temperature drops.  We go outside and are a little bundled up but not as though we're expecting an impending blizzard.  It's just that frostiness that is felt in the air around October here ... there's this change that I didn't notice when I was little but it's obvious when you start to grow up and learn more.  

Around this time is when we start to see our breath in front of our face everytime we breath out or talk to someone outside.  I used to see this all the time, especially when waiting for the bus at the bus stop.  All the kids and their parents would be there and you see that white fog coming from their mouths and noses.  Some kids, when it was really cold outside, would have that white fog coming off of their bodies.

Me not knowing the scientific part of it and how it all works thought it was something more simple than the hot air hitting the cold outside air.  I always thought people had the white fog coming from their face because they had bad breath.  I really believed it and whenever I would see myself with this white fog, I would try to find gum, candy or whatever it was to just help my bad breath go away.  There was always something magical about getting inside of the school because the white fog would disappear and my breath would be "fresh" again.  I would check multiple times cupping my hands in front of my mouth and nose to see if my breath infact did stink.
