Hi Cara, Well, back when I was in college getting my computer science degree one of the professors stressed keeping things simple stupid. One of the ways he taught us to understand object orientated programming is by using common everyday things everyone was likely to be familiar with. One of our first lab projects was to create a virtual pet in C++ that printed things to the screen like "woof woof" or "meow meow" which sounds pretty lame, but got the point across that barking was to the dog class and meowing went with the cat class, and both shared an animal class that could eat, sleep, walk, wag tails, and so forth. I got the OOP concept real quick just because the sample project was so down to earth and common place. While there are plenty of possibilities for OOP programming and inheritance I think the animals demonstration is the one that clicks best for most people.
