Thomas fell into the trap, but three years down the line, a 29-year-old Thomas sought forgiveness. He admitted that he was wrong while appreciating his Thanksgiving meal. However, he mentioned that a switch from turkey to steak in the meal would have been lovely, but we doubt whether that could be possible!
I’d like to turn myself in for this tweet 3 years ago. I’ve matured, grown up, and I admit when I’m wrong. I’d like to tag @OldTakesExposed myself and say that I thoroughly enjoy my Thanksgiving meal. Now if the turkey was replaced with steak, I’d love it.
Sincerely,
