shoedrama
/ˈʃuːˌdrɑːmə/nounVerified NewAlso in: Schuhdrama (Deutsch) · zapodrama (Español) · chausdrame (Français)
The morning crisis produced by a missing shoe, a wrong shoe, or a shoe that suddenly hurts.
The shoedrama erupts at the door with coats on and time gone. One shoe is under the sofa, one is in the garden, and neither is acceptable to the child, who preferred the other ones. The crisis resolves on the walk to school with a skip, leaving no evidence.
Etym. — shoe + drama — the daily theatre of the doormat.
