The mom is probably explaining how timing is critical and thus he should play to get hit.

Too bad black is up by two pips. It prevents him from running a back checker.

Someone is about to roll only 2s and 4s and get gammoned.

Even though I am not sure of the direction I think White is behind in crossovers.

You must zip it, zip it good. Duh dutuh dutuh, I said zip it, out of sight.

How many rolls minimum to get to this? Be sure to add one for the auto.

Maybe not fair to include this one since it is in mid move: Red is about to place the 5 blue checkers he just hit on the bar.

Did they all learn how to play from this wiki? http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-a-Backgammon-Board

The dark points being longer is just an illusion. The second picture shows that from the proper viewing angle the white ones are longer on one side of the board. Look at the first board diagram in "method 2" coming right after an in depth discussion of how to properly set up the board.
