When an egg falls and hits the table, the table pushes up on it, doesn’t it? The same with a bouncing ball?

Yes, when a falling object hits a table, the table pushes up on the falling object. What happens from then on depends on the object’s characteristics. The egg shatters as the table pushes on it and the ball bounces back upward.
