Hello every body !
She had licked a painting of cake, thinking it would taste like frosting, only to have it taste like paint smells.
What does only to have it taste like paint smells mean ?
Paint smells strong and like chemicals, right? That's exactly how it tasted -- strong and like chemicals. She expected it to taste like frosting (I am assuming because the painting is so detailed), but it tasted just exactly how paint smells -- strong and like chemicals.
