What do you call it??

When A Girl is dramatic you call her a drama queen. What do you call a boy when they are dramatic? My son is so dramatic at times, it just amazes me!! Last night he was doing his homework, which is always a chore, it was math. My husband was helping him while I made dinner, anyway, they did the measuring parts and all was well, so I thought! There are always three or four general math problems at the bottom of the sheet, adding and subtracting. My son does not do well with homework and thinks its stupid! He was sitting at the table for about 30 minutes (no exaggeration) sighing and moaning, after 30 minutes we ask him are you done? Then the drama began!! He was on problem two! Granted math isn't like it was when we were kids, but the outcome is the same. He starts freaking out because the problem was subtraction and he don't like *borrowing* from the other numbers. After 15 or 20 minutes of his whining I said "bring it here and let me see it" He said "I can't, I need to stay in one place to do my homework or I can't concentrate!" I was just about done with the whole situation (which my husband found rather amusing) I said don't do it then. He really freaked out. I think , if I remember it went something like this... Fine, I won't do it. I will get in trouble, They will kick me out of school, You will get in trouble and I will just be stupid for the rest of my life!! Thanks alot MOM! WOW!! What a ordeal! We let him calm down and eat dinner (which he also said it was not good to eat dinner before his homework was done, but, whatever) My husband then finished helping him and it was done! So, what do you call that??
