When it comes to me and my sister, I am definitely the more competitive one. Growing up together, if she had one scoop of ice cream, I had to have two. If she had two lollipops, I had to have three. We were never competitive about boys, and we love each other fiercely, but when it comes to the silly things in life, I feel that I have to top one over my sister. Recently, this has manifested as an all-out Facebook Poke War. Everyday, we poke each other. Sometimes we poke each other twice. Each has declared that we will “poke” the other one out.

Here are some actual Facebook postings about the pokings:

Soma’s Post: Little sisters can definitely be dangerous and take away your Wimbledon title. (Referring to Serena William’s win over sister Venus).

Soma at 10:45 AM July 4: But I WILL have the last poke!

Shreya at 10:00 AM July 5 OH NO YOU WON’T! I POKE YOU INFINITY CUBED!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! and yes, be very very scared…

Soma at 10:09 AM July5 I will get Zia on my side and together we will make a big poker and poke you out of this universe!

Shreya at 10:11 AM July 5 First of all, it is a bit pathetic that you need someone else to poke me out of the world with you. Also, I already beat you to the punch since “INFINITY” has all that territory covered

Soma at 10:15 AM July 5 Oh you think you’re so smart with the infinity trump. It’s so old world physics. I’m going to ace you with my string theory poke. MU HUAHUAHUAHUA!

Shreya at 10:16 AM July 5 I’m shaking in my boots!
