I heard the following dialogues in a movie.
Woman: How old are you?
Boy: 18 (The boy wanted to be in love with the woman who was 49)
Woman: Do you know how old I am? I could have had you. (The woman thought she was too old for the boy)
I wonder if it is incorrect to say "I could be your mother" in place of "I could have had you." Could anybody tell me similar expressions like this,please?
