So, he sets up an ringer, sorta like on your dryer telling you its time to pull and fold the laundry before the wrinkles set in. DING! Ah, they need my attention. Which gets us back to point one, why we can't seem to find another advanced civilization in the universe. Maybe you don't want Daddy's attention. :)
