"Does anyone else find it unrealistic that his name is Joe Smith?" Haley deadpanned. She didn't even look up from the nail file she was using on her pale pink nails. "What kind of boring ass name is Joe Smith? Might as well be John Doe." 
  
  The "adults" in the room ignored her comment, but her "sister" Michelle elbowed her and nodded. 
  
  "Good point," she whispered quietly into her ear.

  The Smiths are far from your average family. They're part of a marketing experiment. A fake family who's job it is to subtly advertise products  as well as possible and market them to a neighbors, friends, and anyone else who consumes goods on the basis of trying to seem successful to people who don't really care in our modern consumer culture. 
  
  Not surprisingly, Denise, Joe, and their three children are failing to increase sales by a desirable amount right before the holiday season. So in a last ditch attempt to keep their jobs they plan a Thanksgiving dinner for all of their friends, family, and neighbors.
  
  The only kink in the plan? None of them knows anything about cooking a Thanksgiving dinner, and what a traditional Thanksgiving is supposed to be like, even if most of it comes from the frozen section of the grocery store.  
  
  A short based off of the Movie the Joneses (the only reason to ever watch that movie is Benjamin Holllingsworth) for @Hannahsue-- 's Dinner with the Family contest.

Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me! by Khushi_KK_20
200 parts Complete
(Book 1) Synopsis Audrey woke up and found that she had transmigrated into a book. As a mediocre actress, Audrey was satisfied with her income. Even though her parents favored boys over girls, at least she could support herself. Just when she had finally saved up some money and hadn't had a chance to enjoy it, she ended up in a different world?! She didn't know if it was God's mercy or compensation, but Audrey's role in the book was a wealthy heiress. In the book, her birth mother arranged for Audrey to be married into a wealthy family, and she had to compete with her other siblings for the family inheritance. The tragic outcome was predictable. Confused by the original character's actions, Audrey decided to lay low and become a wealthy but useless person. One day, Audrey's family members noticed that she had changed. Strangely enough, they could read her thoughts on her face. Even her second brother, who had always treated her like air, could see her sarcastic comments about him. [What's with that outfit today? Does he really think he looks good?] And when he was about to give up his directing career and return to the company, he could see the words on Audrey's face. [Why fight for power? Isn't it better to do what you love and still make money? You're so foolish.] Second brother: '...That makes sense.' The eldest sister, who had always ignored the subtitles on Audrey's face, finally noticed them one day. [Is she being foolish? Is it worth marrying for power? Doesn't she have enough money of her own?] After looking at her own wealth, the eldest sister quietly rejected the arranged marriage. Later on, Audrey noticed that her pocket money was increasing. As she gazed at the jewelry her second brother and eldest sister gave her, she fell into deep thought. THIS STORY IS NOT MINE!!!!! FOR OFFLINE PURPOSES ALL CREDITS TO THE AUTHOR AND TRANSLATOR. ...
