A wannabe sugar daddy was left eating his words after he sent his credit card details to a crush, telling her to buy ‘anything her heart desires’ – only for her to use it to purchase a $1,000 bouncy castle.
Leagan Wilson, 17, of Lubbock, Texas, was very flattered when an old friend from summer camp reached out to her and offered to take her out on a date – but says she wasn’t interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with her childhood pal.
However, after she kindly declined his romantic offer, the unnamed suitor persisted in trying his luck, insisting that she deserved to be a little spoiled and sent her pictures of his credit card, ‘just in case you ever need anything at all’.

‘I want you to have something,’ he wrote to her, while sending pictures of the front and back of his card – which she kindly blocked out when sharing a grab of the conversation online.
‘Just in case you ever need anything. Anything at all. Anything your heart desires,’ he added.
But his attempts to buy her heart didn’t sit well with the blonde Texan.
‘After I let him know I didn’t feel the same way about him as he did about me, he said he would leave me alone but then sent his credit card information in what I assume was an attempt to win me over…,’ she said to Unilad.
‘When I first saw it I was surprised but I just kind of ignored it because it wasn’t the smartest move,’ she added.
After a second thought, Leagan to make use of the most opportune gift and purchased a purple princess inflatable bouncy house – the same childhood hit from youth birthday and block parties.
When her suitor got the email notification of a charge and an order receipt from Jungle Jumps, he was left utterly dumb struck.
‘Babe what is this,’ he messaged Leagan.
‘You said anything, right?’ she cheekily responded.
‘Did you just buy a f*****g bouncy house?’ he fired back, aghast with her bizarre purchase.

She revealed that the idea came to her out of the blue while on a drive.
‘I saw one while driving home and remembered the card. My only reasoning was, well, why not buy a bouncy castle?’ she revealed to Unilad.
And Leagan’s purchase was no cheap venture. According to the shop’s website, the inflatable castle retails for a whopping $938 – and that’s on sale.
Leagan took to Twitter to broadcast her hilarious rejection interaction and announce her latest purchase, creating an open invitation for followers to enjoy her free bouncy house, courtesy of her rejected date.

‘I like the way your heart desire,’ one man wrote on her youthful desire to buy a playhouse to jump in.
One woman jokingly asked her to reveal the man’s name and credit card information for fun.
‘Why’d you block out the number??? We’re ALL supposed to eat,’ she wrote.
While Twitter was left in stitches of laughter with her post, the man in question was not so amused with her fun.
‘He was pretty irritated at first but then I explained to him, he did in fact say “anything”‘ Leagan said to Unilad.
While Leagan is yet to receive her highly anticipated bouncy house, it is unclear if she will follow up with a party for her Twitter fans. Aside from the castle purchase, she also used the card to buy some chicken nuggets.
Although the castle frenzy has brought her Twitter fame, and perhaps left her suitor empty-pocketed in the dust, she leaves a loud and clear message that no matter how charming an admirer can be, she is the queen of her own castle.
