I didn't have to explain it, but I found myself in a situation where I was informing a grown woman that fish are indeed animals.
Oh, that reminds me of when I had to explain to my mother that my then girlfriend was vegetarian and that, no, chicken do count as meat.
That sounds like a vestige from the Catholic habit of not eating meat at times, so the definition of "what's meat" got really specific and excluded things like fish and chicken.

I mean, the bible lists bats as a kind of bird, so sure, why not.
...the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
What's a hoopoe?
That actually makes sense. I didn't think about that. Thanks.
