Personally, I would have started to suspect that the kids were telling the truth when they talked about 'station CC' and 'tanks'. I mean, this is in the middle of WW2 - talking lions are a little out there, sure, but A: it sure SOUNDS like espionage is afoot, and B: this is GOLDEN AGE WONDER WOMAN the kids are talking to! She gets involved in weirder stuff than that every day of the week - this is the woman who once went up against evil anthropomorphic corncobs. She attracts bizarre happenings by her very presence - ANYTHING odd that happens around her should be investigated with the utmost scrutiny. If the wino on the street corner starts ranting about pink elephants as she passes by, you can bet your sweet bippy that pink elephants are going to start stampeding down the street any second now. Possibly EVIL pink elephants, with machine gun trunks or something. You never know with Wonder Woman.
