Thank you. And I will respond. Not as Estee might, with insightful analysis and all that smart stuff, but with a cautionary history lesson.
The cautionary element of my response is to remind everyone to respect your evolutionary elders, and to not dis-respect the fish. Or you should stay out of the water, because fishes gots teefs.
The second element is a history lesson.
We fish have seen a lot, we’ve learned a lot, and we maintain a healthy hydration level. Further, I think we can all agree that by and large, fish people (Hey! We’re people too. We got feelings!) are handsome as all get out, and are universally (well, almost universally) successful in our chosen endeavors. Admittedly there are the few that have had to be banished to the Marianas Trench for extreme weirdness-ness,
...but by and large we are a handsome bunch.
This is because evolution has been kind. But we had to evolve from the original progenitor of life on earth in order to be so. As a result we still carry those original genetic markers. And they’ve become your evolutionary inheritance as well. All o’ y’all (yes, that is the correct form, as are ‘sompin’ and ‘nuttin’).
You see, life on earth goes back to that lone alien who visited here billions of years ago. Apparently the alien was so lonely he attempted to mate with earth rocks who were relatively young at the time, and apparently fecund. Repeatedly, for seven alien days. And so created the original earth life form that eventually developed into fish, into amphibians, etc.
If you want to go all the way back and see what the original X Chromosome creature looked like, take a gander at Uncle Roscoe. That original gene still pops up every once and a while.
Uncle Roscoe can't help his appearance, or how he was born, but even so he has had success, mostly in the movies but also in the rodent removal industry, as a Sci-FI convention celebrity, and he is swamped (heh heh) at Halloween.
So, respect your elders, and eat more Chikin.
