(8,495 posts)In Wisconsin the Saturday and Sunday morning polka shows were a tradition when I was growing up, both on the radio and TV. Now, you can find an occasional radio station that has a Sunday morning program, but rarely.
When we vacation in the more sparsely populated northwoods of the state, there is a radio station that does a Sunday morning polka show. I used to share this joy with my sons, hoping they would grow up loving the stuff like I do.
Nope. They were not amused. Neither was my husband, but he always went along with it just to annoy the teens in the back seat. You might be able to resist the polka temptation, but you can never resist the temptation to annoy annoying teenagers.
Oddly, back when we lived in an apartment, our Mexican neighbors blared Mexican polkas through the walls on Sunday morning as they got ready for church. I was cool with it, but my husband insisted we remove ourselves to the other bedroom in short order.
