The morning rebellion against the sock whose seam touches the toe.

The sockseamrevolt is unstoppable once raised: the sock is removed, turned, and rejected in all orientations. Socks are now bought seamless at premium prices to prevent it, which the child detects anyway. The revolt is seasonal, worst in September, and always resolved by the spare socks in the car.

Etym. — sock seam + revolt — the uprising of the sensitive toe.

Rel. — shoedrama

Novelty check: APPROVE
