What’s White Lie Day?

White Lie Day (May 25) is the one day a year when it’s socially acceptable — even encouraged — to tell small, harmless fibs. It’s the opposite of April Fools: instead of big pranks, it’s about those little white lies we all tell to be polite, spare feelings, or make life easier.

“Of course I love your cooking.” “I’ll be there in 5 minutes.” “This is my last cookie.” You know the drill.

And honestly? Some of the best white lies are the ones teachers tell. Every teacher has a stack of ungraded papers they’re ignoring, a “yes, I read your email” they haven’t responded to yet, or a “we’ll get to that tomorrow” that means April. So we put together the best White Lie Day shirts for 2026 — because the best lies are the ones you wear.
