Slice of Life Day 29: On Namesakes

A notebook that reads "Ridiculously Good Ideas"
Daily writing prompt
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

ooooo this looks like a fun prompt. I’m going with it!

The Lainie Levin Honorary Storytelling Theater

The Levin Weightlifting Complex for Teen Girls with Impostor Syndrome

The Lainie Levin Homework Grading Corner at Starbucks

Mount Lainieus: the tallest peak in Cook County, Illinois

The Lainie: a deli sandwich with chopped liver, pastrami, pickles, and Russian dressing

Legs by Levin: fitnesswear for Women of a Certain Age

The Levin Escape Room for Toddler Parents

…what am I not anxious to see named after me? People. It’s Jewish tradition to name babies after people who have passed on. So while the sentiment would theoretically be nice, I’m not a fan of the prerequisites.



Thanks, as always, for the Two Writing Teachers March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Check ’em out!

  1. THIS was a great post and a way to show some of your interests and passions. I am placing an advance order for you fitness wear for women of as you noted, a certain age! Really great post!

    1. Thanks! Not sure what my monument would actually be…maybe because I’ve done so many different and random things? Guess the constant would be teaching, I suppose?

  2. What a wonderful idea-and you shared so much about who you are. I believe you could actually make some of these happen. And those Legs by Levin will surely have a longer inseam, right?! 😉

    1. Thanks! I had some fun with it. Of course, for the last several hours I’ve been thinking about all of the ideas I wish I thought of earlier, but that’s definitely the way things go…

  3. What fun! I loved all the different things you could name after yourself–you make me want to imagine some namesakes. ….and I also loved the turn your writing takes at the end. Funny and thoughtful–my favorite combination to read! Thank you!

    1. Thanks, Natasha. This really was a fun post to do. I’m surprised that the WordPress prompts are as thought-provoking as they are…

    1. Perfect! And just so you know, there are side pockets. In EVERYTHING. And none of those namby-pamby sports bra pads that curl up or get loose in the dryer, I’ll tell you that!

    1. Ohhh I’d love to see if you did this, too! It was a post that originally made me think it would be fun…and believe it or not, it took some WORK.

  4. I always enjoy your posts and many times get a good laugh out of them. We all need a good laugh, especially these days so how about Lainie Levin’s Laugh Line.
