I'm not sure why that has to be a hard and fast rule....
....but that wasn't quite what I meant.
Let me explain it this way...
If Mary has 10 packets of 10 watermelon seeds per packet...
Joe has 4 packets of 25 pumpkin seeds....
Mary wants to trade 5 of her watermelon seed packets (total of 50 seeds) to Joe for 2 of his pumpkin seed packets (total of 50 seeds)....
Mary gets marked off as having 'oinked' 2 packets whereas Joe gets marked off as having 'oinked' 5 packets. I would imagine that Joe would consider that pretty unfair.
(We should really have our own terms for this so that Ella's swap stays her own, unique thing...she seems like a cool person with her own, unique personality that shines through in the whole 'theme' of the Piggy Swap....I feel awkward stealing her phrases when they are so uniquely hers.)
