What Did You Do At School Today?

I've definitely been getting gypped out of the details of Soren's day at school. So I did the "what did you do in school" test with Soren to see if I could find out more about his day. As you all know, the kid is a talker. Has been practically since birth it seems. But he just doesn't rattle off details of his experiences. Example:

Me: How was school today?
Soren: Good.
Me: What did you do?
Soren: Played.
Me: Uh, what kinds of things did you play with?
Soren: (Pulling out the Toys R Us flyer from the Sunday paper) Will you buy this for me?
Me: Did you play with Jack in school today?
Soren: There are two Jacks. And Ella. And we did bats.
Me: What did you learn about bats?
Soren: (blank look)
Me: Did you learn about what they eat? What do they eat?
Soren: They eat bugs, fruit and sometimes a mouse.
Me: And where do they live?
Soren: In trees.
Me: And how do they get around?
Soren: They fly. But they don't have nanas. (Hm, they are mammals right? Shouldn't they have nanas?) And they have fur.
Me: Wow, you learned a lot about bats.
Soren: Yes, now we can buy a bat.
Me: Uh...
Soren: Actually, we can't buy one yet. I have to learn more about them at school first.
Me: (very big look of relief)

See what I mean? He'll answer questions, but he doesn't ever just rattle off a string of details. I'll get the story, or part of it, eventually. For example, the bat story continued the next morning while we were making breakfast:

Soren: Sometimes bats drink blood.
Me: Er, really?
Soren: Yes, they drink cows' blood. But the cows don't know it. Want to play bats and cows?
Me: (Look of panic) Um, let's finish making breakfast first.
