Age problems...
It's so embarassing. My mom's old, 63 with grey hair. And I am 13 years old. I have a brother whose 27 years old. My frends keep asking me "Oh, thats a really big gap between you and you brother. Why is that?" Its so embarassing. I feel bad.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Well... options.
A, stop telling people about you brother. Mean, but effective.
B, joke about it and make your brother a mistake. Always kind of fun and really diverts questions.
C, Why not? It works, seriously. They get confused and shut up. I've seen it.
D, stop worrying about it. I mean, what does it matter?
I'd go with D. Personally.

You shouldn't be embarrassed at all. It's not her fault for being old or anything. Can you really blame her for wanting to raise another child after your brother became older/more mature/etc?
I know someone 17 years older than her sister. And it's not liek their life's horrible.
Anyway, my point is that age shouldn't matter. You're a family and THAT should matter. There's mothers of all age out there, after all; the record youngest being age 7, oldest being SEVENTY.

People shouldn't ask questions like that. It's personal. Don't feel bad for having a unique family. Spacing kids out is financially a good idea, btw. If you have two kids one year apart, it would be hard to help pay for both their tuition at the same time.

Instead of chastizing your mother for having you at an advanced age, bless her for giving birth to you at all. Without that woman you wouldn't be here right now to ask this question. Be blessed you have a family and cherish them while you can. They won't always be there.
If someone asks why there is such a gap between you and your brother ask why their isn't such a gap between their siblings. They probably won't know the answer any more then you did.

Nothing to do but get over it.
Families come and shapes and sizes and arrangments. You only get one family too. Worrying about what other people think of them will only make you upset, and you can't change their ages, or other people's stupidity.
