Oh!! Haha I didn’t realize that until I read it again 😅 That’s a confusing sentence if you read it the other way. I wonder if there’s a name for sentences that change meaning as you read/hear the later part of the sentence.

They're sometimes called garden path sentences because they lead you up the garden path. Some more examples: https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/garden-sentences-262915
