"went to bed, bumped his head" I'm thinking he bumped his head AS he was getting into bed, which is why he couldn't get up in the morning (headache!). ;-) same here… “went to bed, bumped his head”

Is it "he bumped his head, and he won't be up in the morning" or "won't be up 'til the morning"? I'll let G_ ask that when get gets to that phase.
