 Treat it as you would if it had been two friends of your tickling each other or messing about. Just laugh or preoccupy yourself with something else, unless you want to get into the action too. They don't go on for hours hopefully, and include you again soon enough. Besides, try to imagine how much of a third wheel his sister feels like when she is hanging out with the two of you...! Try to smile next time and if they use a bit of time just do something else. If you are hanging out with others too try to talk to the others instead.

 Some families promote a lot of 'touchy-feely" closeness. I gotta admit this makes me feel uneasy BUT that's the way some folks are so maybe you best ignore it.
