Phone conversation with Grandpa - another Lost in Translation

Grandma handed April her cell phone with Grandpa on the other side. She started an abstract phone conversation with him...

April: 我告诉你他(爸爸)在那里,他在东京。
(She walked over to the world map, and pointed at Tokyo)
Grandpa: ......
April: 就在这里。然后他会去上海,我告诉你上海在那里。
(She pointed at Shanghai on the map)
Grandpa: ......
April: 你知道了吗?

Quite a bit of imagination to do for Grandpa...
