[Dexter's Lab] If Dexter's lab is supposed to be a secret, why does he wear a lab coat and gloves everywhere?

Alternate: why don't his parents notice the massive power bill?

I can't explain how the parents don't notice the bill (I don't remember them as all that bright, but that would be nearly impossible not to note) though if Dexter was able to build a lab like that alone, it's not unthinkable that he's simply stealing power from somewhere.

As for the outfit - that one's really easy: he's a little kid. Anyone who cares at all probably assumes it's just a quirk/phase. Tons of kids play dress up, and if he happens to be more attached to playing scientist than Batman or the Flash or whomever, so what?
