The best explanation I've come across is to think of "God" as not a person but a substance like matter or mind in Cartesian terms. So while a normal human is made from mind and matter, Jesus during the incarnation was made up of both these and a third substance, God. The only other persons that partake of this substance are The Father and The Holy Spirit.
Of course that's not to say that's true and it requires accepting a heck of a lot of starting premises like monism being false for instance. But it's a much clearer explanation than the usual "God is like a shamrock" guff that we always got in school.
