What's the best way to define the words “class” and “object” to someone who hasn't used them?

Question

My neighbor is taking \"Intro to Java\", and asked me to help explain a few of the first-day concepts. I realized that since I do this everyday, I don\'t have the beginner\

Answer 1

Class: Girl

Object : that girl, this girl, my girl...umm maybe not.

Yea all girls should have the properties of a Girl (class in this case).
