Why Is My Sister Named Lily meme: meaning and origin

What it means
A short dialogue joke: a kid asks why their sister is named Lily, the mom says it's because she likes lilies, the kid thanks her, and the mom replies by calling the kid by some unrelated thing she also likes. The last line is the part people swap, filling in foods, drinks, or fandom names, so the punchline is the implied name of the second child.
Where it started
The version that spread was posted as a text post on X by @loomie_my on November 7, 2026 (Pacific time), ending with the Malaysian dish "nasi kandar kuah banjir", and passed 300,000 views, per X's public counts. X post counts for "sister named lily" went from none before November 8 (UTC) to more than 2,800 posts over November 8-9, many swapping in their own last line, and an X News story described it as a classic name-joke template resurfacing. Who first wrote the template hasn't been confirmed.
