I'm old enough to be your mother.
Hi,
Context: suppose that I am a 50 year old woman. A 15 year old boy wants to make friends with me. He wants to have me as his girl friend but I reject his request because I am far too older than him.
As a 50 year old woman, I want to tell the boy that I can't make friends with him because I am in age of his mother:
I can't make friends with you because I'm old enough to be your mother.
Can the blue part be used in this context?
Thank you.
