I am trying to figure out the name of the story or poem she recited to him when he was spending the weekend at their house. If anyone can tell me, that would be great!

Eight divided by one-half equals four squared!
That was a touching scene. Beautiful poem.

Beautiful poem by eugene field, "wynken, blynken & nod. Get a book copy & read to a child.
shareUnconcerned by what others may think, I, a 72 year old man, have always loved this movie. The chemistry between Mr. Wilson, played by the wonderful Walter Matthau, and Dennis is the rock upon which this film rests.
Christopher Lloyd's turn as Switchblade Sam is at times very scary, and at other times, very incompetent at his trade. And that is the comedy of this movie, besides the incredible situations Dennis puts Mr Wilson in, although without malice or anger.
But, there is one sequence in this film that soars above all else.
The heart touching, tear inducing scene when Mrs. Wilson reads "Winkin' Blinkin and Nod" to Dennis and you see how he is connected to his parents through the passages in the poem. Beautiful moment.
