He chuckled when he said balls..
In retrospect, it makes sense when you think about it this way:
Imagine you had a bag of water as big as a bowling ball. It'd be pretty heavy – about 12 lbs. So if something that big weighs less than that, it's less dense and will float.
He said "Doy"…lol
Mom what is bathtime toy?
