Holy Magic, Batman!

The story you about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the “innocent.” – Dragnet
Upon finding themselves in last-minute need of childcare, the parents of the Wonder Twins (Jayna – female, Zan – male) called upon a friend. The Wonder Twins were excited as this child, let’s just call him Boy Wonder, is a friend they both rank quite highly. Boy Wonder has a brother a couple years older than Boy Wonder and the Wonder Twins, we’ll call him Batman. Batman and Boy Wonder have an infant sister, Batgirl. For consistency sake, we’ll call the chief operating officer of this assortment of super-little-people, Ms Alfred, Batman’s trusted butler.
The Wonder Twins were dropped off in Gotham city at 8 am that morning, in the capable hands of Ms Alfred. All super-heroes were ready whatever they day may bring, so the Wonder Twins’ mother (Wonder Woman) went off to Metropolis to do her business. Upon returning to Gotham, Ms Alfred told informed Wonder Woman that she found Jayna in the Batcave  with the Boy Wonder. Ms Alfred stated, “I think they were K-I-S-S-I-N-G.”
Boy Wonder puffed his chest out in pride and declared, “Yup, that’s what we were doing.”
Ms Alfred looked unbelievingly at Boy Wonder and inquired, “What were you doing?”
Boy Wonder replied, “What you spelled.”
“What did I spell?” asked Ms Alfred.
Boy Wonder shrugged his shoulders and said, “I dunno.”
On the way home, Wonder Woman asked Jayna, “Ms Alfred said you and Boy Wonder were in his closet. What were you doing in there?”
Jayna got a sly grin on her face and answered, “Talking.”
“About what?”
“….bunnies.”
“Does Boy Wonder like bunnies?”
Jayna quickly replied, “Actually we were talking about dogs.” Fortunately, Zan was being attacked by a mob of sleepiness and was screaming in the adjacent seat – subject changed.
Later that same evening, Jayna confessed to Wonder Woman, “Mom, actually… we kissed – but it was MAGIC!” 
Not sure weather to call in the Justice League, faint, or laugh, Wonder Woman simply asked, “Magic?”
“Yeah, we kissed and it was magic so we turned into kitties.”
“Oh – you kissed so you could turn into kitties. Where did you kiss? On the cheek? Head?”
Matter-of-factly, Jayna responded, “Lip to lip.” She was quick to clarify, “But we did it like this (puckers up with lips protruding as far away from her face as they can) so we didn’t get any germs.” Then, after some thought added, “I guess kissing on the cheek would be safer.”
