Affiliate Marketing Secrets

When my mom and I went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus there were these people handing out cards when you walked in the door. I can’t remember if they affiliated with the circus, but they must have been if they were in the arena is my guess. They instructed us to fill out our name and number, and said they’d call if we won anything. Only my mom filled one out because the rest of us were under 21 (I’m 20 btw).
We got a call yesterday saying my mom had won an all expense paid trip for two to the Bahamas. They said we’d just have to pay the taxes. My mom didn’t believe them because she didn’t remember filling out the paper at the circus since that was about a month or so ago.
The lady that called left her name and number and told us to call back. She said we had a year to claim/take the trip.
No one knows whether to believe if this trip is real or not. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

I have started writing this story which goes like this so far:
“Tait lay in his broken bed. The large shed that he had been living in had a wrecked roof and the door had almost been ripped off its hinges. He walked over to the the corner of the room and pulled out a half eaten loaf of bread. He tore a piece of it off and shoved it into his mouth. He looked out of the grubby window and gave a little smirk. Today was Saturday and all boys in London who were like Tait knew that this was a good day. He quickly put on some clothes (not that he had many) and ran outside. He walked down the road to the big courtyard. He looked at the market with a grin on his face. “So I need bread, a bit of meat and something which can get sell to get a lot of money,” he whispered to himself. He slowly walked from stool to stool looking at everything that they sold. One by one things from stools went missing and Tait’s pockets became full of things.
“Gotcha!” a man said grabbing Tait’s wrists. Tait turned around only to see a middle aged man with a light stubble on his face. “What have you taken today?” the man shouted.
“Nothing, police officer, I have taken nothing!” he cried back pull the policeman’s hand off of his wrist. He walked off at a steady pace but once he realized the police officer was following him he made a dash for it.”
I want Tait to go on some adventure or something like that but I am not to sure how to do that, HELP!

What is the name of that movie where three kids don’t have parents and they go to some secret parent market. They each get coins to make a chice of parents. They each take turns in picking parents, I believe one choses circus parents, and the girl chooses some rich lady. Well at the end none of them work out, and I believe the old lady next door is a witch and she kind of helps them out. It looks like an 80’s movie but I was so young when I saw the movie. Can somebody please help me relive my childhood dream. Thanks

This is a dream I had last night:
It starts off when I was at school. It was vaguely my own high-school, just a bit different. I was standing alone near this thing that was similar to these brick benches at my school, except for it was larger and a full square. There was dancers or cheerleaders inside the square, but they don’t matter.
I had set my pop that I usually bought down, but I noticed it was a Diet Sprite instead of a Coke Zero, and I was frustrated at the the vending machine for giving me the wrong thing.
The bell rang, so me and the other girls left.
We went in the entrance that felt like the main entrance, the entrance that the kids at my school come in every morning. From the auditorium-like place, I walked to a hallway that went off to the left. As I walked down the hall, I realized I had left my Sprite outside. I remembered (in the dream) that there was a little niche of classrooms ahead with a door to the outside and I made a beeline to towards there.
Here’s where things get strange. For some reason, and it kind of terrifies me, I started getting disoriented. It was weird, I knew where I was, but my mind kind of stopped working and I almost fell over and I couldn’t hear and there was dark spots in my vision and I was sort of paralyzed it was so odd I can’t describe it. 🙁
Then, to make it weirder, I slipped my hand into this guy from my school’s hand, and we held hands and I almost fully returned to normal.
He gave me a smug, smirky look but didn’t say anything (he didn’t speak throughout the dream, and I suppose that was because I’ve never talked to him or really heard his voice).
We continued walking down the hallway until we turned into a classroom, and apparently the door to outside was in that classroom, something that I knew in the dream instinctively.
I left the boy in the classroom, but turned back and told him to find me and talk to me later.
From the door I could see the brick square again. I went back into the paralyzed mind state, and stumbled towards it. As I drew closer, a woman I recognized in-dream as the assistant principal was out there picking up trash and making sure there was no students skipping class. I tripped over to my Sprite and giggled and told the assistant principal that I wouldn’t be too long, but she ignored me.
And then I woke up. :/
——
What I would like to know about most is the weird mind-paralysis.
It terrifies me, even if Dream-Me acted as if it was normal. My dream self acted as if everything was normal, even the boy holding my hand. Though, my dream self seemed to know as much about him as I do; his name and what her looks like. There was no weird dream mechanics where I instantly knew everything about him or why he continued holding my hand.
Again, I know almost nothing about the boy, and I have no idea why he was in my dream.
(And, contrary to what my sister thinks after I described the dream, I do not have a crush on him)
Both my dream self and I were perplexed as to why he was there.
Anyway,
Any ideas? What does this all mean?

Today, my pet snail Eudoxia and I decided to cook a vegetable stew with aubergines and bell peppers, by our special secret grandmother’s recipe. We visited the local market, bought all the needed ingredients, came home and very soon the tasty smell of baked peppers, aubergines, and tomatoes, fried with the best olive oil, permeated our building. The stew turned out great, though we say so ourselves. But, as you know, the cook vegetable stews need to cool down, and, to get the best flavour, you should let them be at least for an evening, or even the whole night. So, we decided to go for a walk to Luxembourg gardens, before eating it, to stretch our legs and watch the squirrels. As we approached the door, we heard noise and commotion outside. We looked out of our door peephole and there were all our neighbours: Monsieur Mangedetout, Madame Mangedetout and their children, three little Mangedetouts. They all were sniffing the air avidly, and their jaws moved, and they all had huge handmade wooden spoons in their hands. So that you know, Mangedetouts are very economical, yet they love their food. It was obvious that they sniffed our stew from afar, and lay in ambush, waiting till we open the door, to jump on the opportunity to invite themselves in and eat all of our vegetable stew. Not to be outdone, Eudoxia and I went back and sat on our sofa, reading a book, for about half an hour, but when we then went back to the door, the Mangedetouts were still there, still waving their huge spoons in the air, and still moving their jaws in a frightening manner. It looks like we can’t get out without sacrificing our stew! But we do not want to! Yet, we can’t stay in forever, so what should we do?
