Second: they look very colourful. Third: the kid was very attentive. Had somebody said: "Wow, that's great that you see that!" he might have had no reason to scream. I bet his mother said: "No, no, you are wrong, nobody is wearing mismatched socks" without caring to look herself. So he protested.

This did not change until Daughter began sending me socks for gifts. Some had moustaches, some Mr. Spock ears, Einstein's face, and the grandchildren delight in identifying them. They cause no trauma. The child who screamed at your socks doubtless later got into his drawer and experimentally mismatched his own.
