today in OOP in PHP:

I have a base class Entity with a save method

class foo extends Entity it redefines save() and calls parent::save() within.

Class Bar extends Foo
but I don’t like foo::save. I want to skip it entirely. So in Bar::save i try to call parent::parent::save(). This doesn’t work, but I wish it did. Instead i need to call Entity::save() the grandparent class

Is there a reason (eg performance, design) why parent::parent::save doesn’t work?
